Week 11 in the CFL is headlined by a showdown between the first-place Saskatchewan Roughriders and the East-leading Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan won 28-23 when these teams clashed in Hamilton two months ago and my Tiger-Cats vs. Roughriders predictions are betting on the Riders to win again. Here are my best free CFL picks<\/a> for this marquee matchup on August 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tiger-Cats vs Roughriders prediction<\/p>\n

My Tiger-Cats vs Roughriders pick: Roughriders -2.5 (-130 at BET99<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Both teams have dynamic aerial attacks with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats<\/a> led by MOP front-runner Bo Levi Mitchell, and Trevor Harris under center for the Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Riders have the more balanced offense thanks to A.J. Ouellette, who helps them churn out 110.5 yards per game on the ground. The Ticats are one-dimensional, ranking second-last in the league in rushing yards per game (75.0) and yards per rush (4.2).<\/p>\n

On other side of the ball, Saskatchewan has more pass rush juice (22 sacks to Hamilton’s 13) and is significantly better against the run \u2014 allowing the second-fewest yards per rush (4.5), while the Ticats allow the most (5.5).<\/p>\n

The strength of the Ticats defense has been their secondary. However, they could be vulnerable in that area with Stavros Katsantonis (the highest-graded safety in the league per PFF) and CB Jamal Peters sidelined by injury.<\/p>\n

The Riders are also fresh off a bye and will have home-field advantage, which is another reason to like them here. That said, I’d prefer paying the extra juice to get the spread under that key number of 3.<\/p>\n

Roughriders -2.5<\/p>\n

Under 54.5<\/p>\n

Money has come in on the Over, moving the total from 52.5 to 54.5, but I’m going against the line movement.<\/p>\n

We have a quarterback duel between Mitchell (who leads the CFL with 2,856 passing yards) and Harris (league-best pass efficiency of 119.7). That said, both QBs were\u00a0 productive in the Week 2 clash between these teams, and that game still went below the total.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that these defenses do a great job of keeping things in front of them. The Riders have allowed the fewest big plays in the CFL (15) while the Ticats have given up the second-fewest completions of 30+ yards (10).<\/p>\n

Both teams are also missing their star returners with Hamilton’s Isaiah Wooden and Saskatchewan’s Mario Alford sidelined by injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
